The coming arrival of Ethereum 2.0 is supposed to make the Ethereum blockchain more usable: better security, faster and cheaper transactions, and fewer headaches over whether those transactions even went through. In short, it will allow the network to scale.
For several months, decentralized application (dapp) users have relied on Polygon, a so-called second-layer solution that sits atop the Ethereum blockchain, to get around network congestion. It dominated the news back in April and May with a seemingly endless succession of climbs and partnerships as it provided a solution to astronomical transaction demand and fee prices.
But now that Ethereum’s London hard fork is in the rearview mirror and developers are driving straight toward the proof-of-stake Eth2 network, what’s the final destination for Polygon? Can it prove more than a temporary fix for the clogged network?
